For those of you following along with my journey as a writer, I’m happy to say that I have recently joined the Querying Club. Unfortunately, the first rule of Querying Club is that you do not talk about Querying Club. (This is also the first rule of Fight Club, On Submission Club, Forgot to Brush My Teeth Club, and I Don’t Know How to Pronounce the Word “Vinyl” Club.)

Things I can’t tell you about Querying Club:

Which agents are on my list.

What the responses have been so far.

How this is all going to turn out. (Because I have no idea!)

Things I can tell you about Querying Club:

This is one jacked up roller coaster, yo. Every email is like a 100 ft. rise, ratcheting up my heart rate before dropping me down again, giving me that floaty-stomach feeling. So far I’m enjoying the ride.

I don’t have a “dream” agent. I’m only querying people that I have a very good impression of. If/when I actually receive an offer of representation, then I’ll do my best to figure out if that agent and I click, both in terms of working personalities and vision for my career.

Even though I’m being a bit coy about the process for now, I hope to be able to talk more about it in the future. In the meantime, I’ll add that the help and support of my crit group, as well as mywriterfriendswhohave walked this path before me, has been invaluable.
